    Or go on her own. The boredom might bring her too her senses.

    Or she might love it, and decide it's probably for the best they part ways.

    But lots of people I know never go away at all so imagine that.
    Most people don't go away because they prioritise other aspects of their lives. They might have a bigger house that cost more, or they might nicer cars, or they might just prefer to never travel, but reduce their working hours.

    I just don't really get the "holiday" thing, unless I'm doing something (festival, LARP, proper sightseeing). Lying on a beach? No ta.

    If you are just lying around, eating ice-cream, drinking beer, do it at home for free!

    I think the point of going on holiday doing nothing is very much that, doing nothing! It means that they go away from all the stress of their lives, constantly having to plan/organise/chase people/check things are done etc...

    Being away somewhere relaxing and not have to do any thinking is the definition of bliss for many (not me!).

    i haven't be abroad in 20 years, don;t even have a passport. If you're up for holidays then set a budget and have them. If not then let her hve her own holidays.

    We like to go way to give the OH a rest from bringing me my ices creams and beer.

    Also have someone else cook and wash up and make the beds and do the washing........

    Some sun and warmth in the winter also makes us feel better.
